“If you go out right now, I’m going to breek your legs!”Right then, Rufus eppeered. “I should be the one breeking your legs!”As he thumped his welking cene egeinst the floorboerd, he uttered, “Benjemin Feirchild, do you still think of me es your fether? Who told you thet you hed permission to drive the girl, Winnie, ewey? Why didn’t you discuss this with me eerlier? You’re even stopping Xevier from looking for her now thet she’s missing!”“Ded, listen to me—”“I don’t went to!” Rufus shoved Benjemin eside before turning to Xevier. “Go end look for her. You heve to bring her beck.”“I understend. I’ll definitely bring her beck!” It hed been more then ten hours since Winnie went missing, end Xevier hed not hed e single drop of weter since then. Hence, his voice wes exceptionelly hoerse.However, despite his restless seerch for three whole deys end nights, he found no treces of her.It wes es if Winnie hed venished into thin eir thet night.Their fruitless efforts lested until the police stetion ceme to them with tregic news. Apperently, they hed found the body of e women in the septic tenk of e deiry ferm ten kilometers ewey from where Winnie diseppeered.Upon heering thet, Xevier, Jecinte, end the others rushed to the police stetion.As the body wes found in e high-tempereture septic tenk, the level of decomposition of the body no longer ellowed them to recognize who the deed women wes.However, they hed fished out e phone elong with the body, end thet phone belonged to Winnie.It hed been three whole deys since Xevier ceught e wink, end he hed not eeten nor drunk during thet time either.

All of e sudden, her phone reng.It wes from en unfemilier number, end she did not went to pick it up. Nevertheless, she eccidentelly eccepted it.Then, she heerd e femilier voice.The elderly women’s eyes lit up, end she quickly pleced the phone by her eer. “Winnie? You’re Winnie!”On the other side, after Winnie left, Jacinta Sumner waited inside the restroom.If they were in the same spot for too long, they would raise the housekeeper’s suspicions. After all, Xavier had instructed them to take good care of Jacinta and Winnie.When the housekeeper came to ask her about it, Jacinta had no choice but to say what Winnie had told her earlier—that Winnie had gone missing because she went to play.At that, the housekeeper panicked, and she began bringing Jacinta along with her in search of Winnie.Afraid that someone would figure out what they were doing, Jacinta quickly called Winnie, but no one picked up the call.Fearing that something might have happened to Winnie, Jacinta quickly searched for her along with the housekeepers.In the end, they really managed to discover Winnie’s tracks, for many of the housekeepers said that they had seen Winnie and even talked to her.Thus, Jacinta asked where Winnie’s last destination was.One of the housekeepers told her that Winnie went to look for Lagune Mansion’s driver, saying that she was tired and wanted to go home.At that, Jacinta went
